Zonic Realty begins operations in Saratoga Springs

ZonicRealty.com has begun operation in the Capital Region and Adirondacks area, its founder and CEO Eric Eckardt said.

It touts its paperless transactions and the money it saves on overhead, offering rebates to customers equal to 20 percent of the commission it earns on a sale.

The firm is launching operations on Long Island and in Syracuse, and has plans to enter the Rochester market as well, Eckardt said.The firm describes how it operates at its website, http://zonicrealty.com.

Eckardt previously headed Hunt Real Estate Group’s operations in the Capital Region and before that headed Empire Home Realty in Saratoga Springs, which he founded and which Hunt acquired in December 2009.
